Zig-A-Zig-Ah

Did the girls in your school go CRAZY for the Spice Girls?

When I was in fourth-ish grade (don't remember quite for sure) the Spice Girls were everything. Our school talent show was bursting with girls performing dances to their songs or singing or lip synching and dancing. Everything was girl power and if you had the movie Spice World you were practically required to bring it to every sleepover so we could watch it four times in one night.

Girls also began hanging out in five-person clumps at recess. You each claimed one of the Spice Girls and you became that Spice Girl.

I was the last member recruited to my group, so I had no choice.

I became Posh Spice. Which would not have been my first choice. But at least I was a Spice Girl.

I'll be the first to admit that I was never a fan of the Spice Girls; HOWEVER, I will do whatever I must to be in the "cool kids club" with you. I got Baby Spice, and I'm going to fully pretend like I remember her!

When I was in middle school (when Spice Girls became big for me) I insisted I was not a fan. I mean, I was into No Doubt, Nirvana, Everclear, that Spice Girls stuff was soooo lame.

With that said, when I outgrew my closed-minded middle school I had to fit in with my friends mindset - girl I ROCKED (still do) like a mofo to Spice Girls, Hanson, Britney, NSync, love it all

Scary Spice was always my favorite (I loved her hair!) but for this quiz I got Sporty! It made me feel good because it said not to worry about the barbwire arm tattoo, so I changed it to say tramp stamp to suit me instead.

Ah! I have very similar memories of playing "spice girls," although for the life of me I cannot remember which spice girl I identified with. Maybe sporty? That seems to make sense. Anyway, guess I'll have to play in a different group than you now because I also got Scary Spice. Weird.

Sorry about it but I got Scary Spice too. I gotta kick you out of the band. Now you have to write rock songs declaring "The band is mine, how can you kick me out of what is MIIIIIIINNNNEEEE!!!!", find a fake substitute teaching job, teach all the kids to make a rock band, enter battle of the bands, and beat me and your old band. Right?
